Super Bowl Victory - Thoughts

[ngbills]

Trying to get positive after a rough 24 hours. The Bills are still the super bowl favorite - so my question is:

 

Bills win the Super Bowl:

1) Struggle even getting into playoffs - going 12-5/11-6 

2) Complete domination going 15-2 and being the favorite all season.

 

The roller coaster would feel good but...there is something extra special about being considered being one of the great all time Super Bowl teams. Dont get me wrong, I take it either way obviously. Just thinking positively that we still win it all so that there can be that pissed off piece to be even better.

The narratives are all prepped and ready to go!

Might be tough to go 15-2 since we are currently at 6-3

I'm just hoping they get to 7-3 with a win over the Browns.

The Bills are still the betting favorite to win the SB?  Awesome!!!

 

How about talking about them making the playoffs or winning the division instead.

The harsh truth is that there is no way we should be Super Bowl favorites. This team has obvious deficiencies that are being exploited 3 weeks in a row. Luckily the schedule gets softer and perhaps we can get healthy, but the standing say we are the 6th seed and 3rd in the AFC East.  Time to wake this team up and make some adjustments.

I still see us as A favorite, if not THE favorite.

 

The teams that are now ahead of us officially do not scare me. Obviously, Philly, KC or whoever can beat the Bills - but I still would like our chances against all or any of them.  Talent-wise, I think we're the best of the lot.

 

Coaching-wise?  Maybe not so much, but good talent can overcome average coaching, imo.

Won't happen in my lifetime so there's nothing to consider.

you're being generous calling this staff average.

 

they plateaued at mediocre.

Highly predictable over reaction Monday at TBD.

 

My thought s have not changed much.  I always thought a Super Bowl while yes possible was by no means a "slam dunk" as so many predicted..

 

Lets put things in perspective, latest power rankings I saw had the Bills at 5 which considering how they have played lately might be a tad generous.  They have Baltimore at 6 which we were lucky to beat sas I would rate them above us. 2 of the tope4 teams are two of our losses, Miami and Minnesota and Miami was a joke with the heat.  Our other loss were the Jets at #13 and we beat the #2 team in KC so all is not lost, not by a long shot.

Vegas agrees with you.

The worst thing people can do to jinx the Superbowl is to talk about it as if it's a foregone conclusion.  So many things can happen, so many factors can change, it's mindboggling.  It's not that I'm superstitious, unless my cat walks into the room during a game, but putting the cart before the horse always ends in tears.  Let's not call it to come to us but let's go towards it with all humility.  Superbowl talk should be for the Superbowl and for the two teams in it.

When the Bills finally win a Superbowl it will be because they crashed, burned and rose from the ashes. It's the Bills way.

The current SB odds are also a reflection of money already wagered ..

 

More money will start coming for the other teams at longer odds which will eventually cause the Bills odds to lengthen

Mediocre doesn't produce this type of a team.  Be disappointed all you like but that is a silly argument.  Feel free to dig up how happy people were that Daboll left.  So that doesn't bode well for this narrative either way.  Either fans didn't value the coaching then or they don't now, most likely both.

A third place team in mid-November is still the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl?!?
